THE HOUSEHOLD.
sscseping and Ds,ssin0 a Room.

ssceeping and Husein0 a Room.
There is much difference Of opinion
among household authorities 40 to the
proper method of sweeping and g~arnishing
q room. Whether windows shall be opened
or closed during the cleansing process is
one OF the mooted questions. A simple
and satisfactory way is to cover all the
articles of furniture with cotton cloths or
sheets kept for the purpose. Whatever
may be lifted conveniently should be taken
out OF the DON to facilitate matters. With
q long-handled feather duster remove all
the dust from walls. and pictures, having
left a window open from the top SO that the
dust d~islodged by the buster may pass out.
If there be . carpet on the floor, sweep it
carefully with a straw broom that has been
da~mpened, but which will shed 10 drops Of
water. In this way the minimum Of dust
will be set free in the air.
In corners where the broom will not
reach use a damp whisk brush, kept for
the purpose. Put all the dust and stuff in
. bucket OF coal scuttle, that it may be
burned a. soon 40 possible. After the room
ia swept throw open all the windows, and
whom the dust remaining has settled, care
fully remove the covers from the furniture
and shake them ont Of the windows. Then
cover the articles in the next room to be

rugs should be removed before the walls
are busted, and the floor should be swept
with a hair broom and then wiped with o
damp. not wet. cloth. For busting use q
soft cloth, slightly damp, 90 that it will
collect instead Of dispense misplaced
matter" Flirting dust from one object to
another may be busting, but it is not cleans
ing. A fine bristle brush should be EN-.
pioyed to remove dust from carved wood.
Window sashes are loo often neglected
by the average domestic; they should be
carefully busted, and Q linen cloth should
be employed TO rub OF the glass, which
collects dust as readily as any piece Of
furniture. In . room where there are
draperies these should be busted before as
well as after the sweeping, and they should
then be carefully pinned, not tied up some
distance from the Aoor. For lace curtains
q rather stiff hair brush will be found adj
mirable for dislodging any dust that may
have collected. It is an unwise practice to
sweep all the room in order at Q time, and
thus avoid the confusion that must other
wise be entailed by weekly thorough sweep
ing.-New York Commercial Advertiser.

Working His Way.

Mr. Stagg, Yale's famous baseball pitcher, entered Philips Exeter Acad- emy some years ago a poor lad. For the first month he lived on 16 cents day, his food being oatmeal and cornmeal, with meat, the toughest kind of beef steak, as a rare treat once week. The next month he succeeded in getting fairly good day board in return for the care of horse. At the end of this month be was still better off, for he found board and lodging for the caring for horse and doing all the odd chores around the house, and thus he support ed himself through Exeter. At Yale he earned his way by tutoring and writing for the papers. In the meantime he has found leisure to be one of the best amateur pitchers in the country and to maintain high scholarship. As for his social standing, it is only necessary to say that he is Q member of the Skull and Bones society, the right to wear c badge of which is one of the most de- sired honors in college.

Tie Pain from a Pugilist's Blow.

It has been said that the hurts suf- fered in pugi,ism are particularly severe, and that but few pains equal the Fain resulting from a blow of the fist square ly and forcibly delivered upon tho nose. An incident which goes to support this allegation is reported from Paris. A lion tanner in one of tho Boulevard shows was set upon by powerful and irrit- able old lion, whose cage he had entered according to habit in the course of an entertainment. The beast made his at- tack without warning or particular cause, and in an instant the man was upon his back between the lions paws. Tho spectators screamed, thinking 1t was the end of the lion tanner, but like a flash he was on his feet, and, striking out with his right in accurate pugilis- tic style, landed his fist upon the lions nose with a spat that was heard all over the place. The lion wheezed and sneezed and backed away, shaking his head and shutting his eyes as if dazed, while the man stepped quickly, but with dignity, out of the cage. The blow was good one, and if it had fal- len upon man would have undoubtedly ''knocked him out" Evidently it made the lion jingle from the spot where it was delivered to the tip of the tal.- Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

Many of Them Dying of a Peculiar
 Form of Disease.

There has been large mortality among horses ill this city during the past week from a disease which Dr. Mark l.. FreH, veterin- ary surgeon of Harlem, has diagnosed as spinal meningitis He first noticed the disease in horse belonging to baker, and since then he has had 16 cases. All the cases have proved fatal.
 The doctor says the disease is peculiar and baffles veterinary skill. The first symptom is the refusal of the horse to eat. This is a. companied by rapid rise in temperature to 1O4 degrees, sometimes to 106 degrees, ard slight weakness of the pulse is perceptible Then follows general rigidi of all tic mus cles, difficulty in swallowing, loss of sensa- tion in the hind parts of the body, a more marked weakness of the pulse, para :ysis of the hind parts, and death from failure of the heart. These symptoms follow each other so rapidly that death results before any medicine that can be given has time to act
 The doctor thinks the disease is infectious rather than contagious, and that 1t results ill tie first instance from some injury. It has been very prevalent ill Newark lately, and there it is called cerebro-spinal meningitis. He says, however, that he has noticed no brain affection in the horses which have come under his care. It is possible that it may have been introduced into this city from Newark, by the use of harness or blankets which have been used on horses who had the disc Ise. It might we'll be, tho doctor said, that ore of these in- fected horses had been driven to this city, as horse may apparently be all right within half an hour of the time the disease shows it. .elf. Previous to the present cases, Dr. Frey said, he had only seen one case of spinal men ingitis in the past four or five years.

Care of Vegetables in Autumn.

Though work does not press now as it does in the spring months, and the gardener can take vacation, yet there are several important things that must not be overlooked. Sow spinach and German greens or sprouts, to winter in the open ground; also onion sets and shallots. Sow early cabbages, cauli- flowers and lettuce, to raise plants to be wintered in cold frames. The plants must be neither too large nor too small, hence the date of sowing is important Near New York many SOW on the 10th; others find it safer to make two sowings, one on the 11th, and the other on the 16th of September. How tho weeds will grow Hoe between the rows of root crops until the leaves prevent. Hoe cabhages and caulihowers often. Help any backward ones with manure water, or slight dressing of guano. Keep celery clear of weeds and hoe to promote growth, which should be rapid these warm days and cool nights. Agriculturatist.

DEATH OF c. NJ. HOVEY.
The Career of the Well Known Cam.
 bridge Horticulturist.

BOSTON, Sept. 3-Mr. c. M. Hovey, the well known foriculturist and pomologist of Cam- bridge, is dead. He was 77 years of age. Tho immediate cause of his death was paralysis of the hea t. MT. Hovey was born in 1S1O at Cambridge. He was the son of Phineas Hovey, at that time prominent and wealthy citizen of Cambridge. His early boyhood was spent in Cambridge, and it was there and in Boston that his first business ventures were made. In 1S33 he, with his brother, Phineas Hovey, opened seed store in Boston, in connection with which nursery was opened a few years later in Cambridgeport. This business proved so successful that in 1SiO the Hovey Brothers purchased tract of 40 acres of land in Cambridge and established the fa- nous nursery by which their names are known. Mr. Hovey by no means confined himself to the occupations of purely business man, how ever. In 1885, when only 25 years old, he founded the Horticstlt,unl Mag axine and was its editor for 35 years. He also began in 1S48 that remarkable series of illustrated stories of the merits of America which were completed many years later. Mir. Hovey has been mem- Der of the Boston Horticultural Society for 5 years. He was president of the society during five terms, from 1882 to 1867. MT. Hovey was an acknowledged authority upon all subjects connected with flor culture or agriculture and the private library of books upon these sub- jects which be had collected probably is not equaled in this country. He leaves family of three grown up children.
